	Well, Roger Dingledine  said 

	¨I've tried to tolerate the conspiracy theories / trolling here,
	since there are legitimate worries to be had about what attacks
	various adversaries may have come up with,¨

	Keywords being ¨legitimate worries¨.

	I find it funny(entertaining) that whereas key tor people are
	willing to admit that the picture isnt exactly rosy, 

	www.ohmygodel.com/publications/usersrouted-ccs13.pdf 

	several voices in  this list seem to be pretending
	exactly the opposite.  And some of them candidly admit ¨ I am
	not a mathematician, statistician nor Tor programmer¨ (Zenaan) 

	----------------

	Question for the experts out there, both real and imagined. 

	Is freenet´s distributed data storage more robust than tor´s
	model? (assume tor is being used only as storage)

	Or is freenet just as susceptible to traffic analysis as tor
	is?
